a) 40 b) 30 c) 35 d)45

Answer 1

Answer:

Option b) 30 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

merchant bought 40 mtr cloth at 25 per mtr and gain must be Rs 200.

To find the total cost

Here total length = 40 meter

Rate per meter = Rs 25

Total cost cp = 40 x 25 = 1000

Therefore

The selling price must be cp + gain = 1000 + 200 =1200

The rate per meter = 1200/ 40 = 30

Therefor the rate per meter so as to get Rs 200 gain = Rs 30/mtr
